“ | To my mind that strange wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived. | ” |

- Reason
- Paintings of series of wheat-fields and related topics from in the article in -Wheat Fields (Van Gogh series). All paintings are figuring in the article. A series of 16 paintings from the renowned Dutch painter, van Gogh. Van Gogh's brushstrokes in staccato are especially suited to depict the straws of the wheat field, giving them a special look and life....

- Support This is a lovely grouping of the Van Gogh Wheat Fields. Every painting here is excellent in its own right! WordSeventeen (talk) 13:14, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Support — Why not? Sca (talk) 15:27, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - I have a question. Does the fact that these are being nominated as a group mean that the images can never be used separately? Just curious. CorinneSD (talk) 17:28, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - With it having three nominators, that makes it 3/5th of the way towards promotion. I don't think that's all that fair. GamerPro64 21:41, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Why isn't that fair? It was a collaboration, working together to achieve a shared goal. We are sharing it, we would all have supported it anyway. The only difference is that we get credited all. It probably will not be a standard, but it was a lot of messing around to get this nomination together. Hafspajen (talk) 21:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Let's get hypothetical then. What if there's a set made and it has five nominators? You might as well promote it on the spot. GamerPro64 23:07, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh yeh..We had that in our mind. Check this out..--The Herald : here I am 06:36, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- With four supporters now aside from the nominators, it's a moot point. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:31, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose File:Vincent van Gogh - Wheat Fields with Reaper, Auvers - Google Art Project.jpg (focus was clearly missed; van Gogh was never that flat) and File:Wheat stacks in Provence.jpg (considerable noise and blurriness). Support everything else. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:01, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- Comment No problem, removed them. Those two pictures are gone now. Hafspajen (talk) 02:33, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

- Comment per GamerPro64, and I wasn't aware there was an FP star give-a-way.--Godot13 (talk) 00:07, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Is this all of the series? If not, why not? Surely, to be promoted as a coherent set, this would need all of them? J Milburn (talk) 13:14, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Then it will take over 30 paintings. - The Herald (here I am) 13:23, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose. This nomination seemingly isn't so much a set as a smattering of pictures from a set. I'm struggling to get my head around the nomination, and the fact we have people supporting some of the pictures and opposing others just adds to the complication. We also have to ask if people are really going to spend the time assessing the EV and quality of each individual image. (I also share some worries about the many nominators.)

Common on, guys - you all get on well together at FPC, discussion about co-noms is taking place on the talk page, so I'm hatting this. SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:35, 19 January 2015 (UTC) |

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
(edit conflict) I'd like to say a few things. First, it is clear that there were two different objections to this nomination. The first one that User:GamerPro64 raised was that if a group of five editors makes a group nomination, and five votes are needed to promote an image, the promotion is kind of a foregone conclusion. GamerPro64 said that was "not fair". There was a little discussion on that issue, and then the second main objection arose, namely, that this group of Van Gogh images is not a complete set. However, I believe that GamerPro64's statement that a nomination by a group of five is not fair began an emotional reaction that the second issue only fanned. I think it should be understood that the nominators did not have instant promotion in mind when we nominated this group of images. I'm not sure why User:Hafspajen and User:The Herald decided to do a co-nomination, inviting some of their fellow editors to join in, or why they decided to nominate a large group of images. I'm new to this, so I was just glad to join in. (I don't know much about photographic image quality, but I'm glad to learn. By participating in WP FP, I have been learning, and I'd like to learn more. I do, however, have a degree in Fine Arts, so I can say something about the images.)

Also, I don't think it's quite fair that you make this about "sharing" or not sharing. Clearly, based on comments above, the idea was to present this nomination as a done deal with the five+ votes locked up as co-nominators. I don't want to remove anyone, but when you bring that up in the context of how few FP nominations that others have, I think you're missing the point. My background is in academia, where publishing papers with co-authors is a big part of the focus. That is probably why I have a strong reaction to handing out co-nom positions unless they've been earned. Please do not confuse that with not wanting to share. Unrelated to the nominator situation, I'm sorry to say that with all the crap I took last year about sets and what's required, this is not a complete set, so per J Milburn, I have to Oppose. This is based entirely on the set issue, nothing else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Godot13 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 18 January 2015
